  In the current era in which we live, with constant and renewed changes in the economic and commercial sphere, it is increasingly essential, in order to properly manage a company, to master other skills in addition to those directly related to the field of management, especially immediately acquire knowledge of the legal field. It is therefore essential that a company's management or management staff understands the legal aspects of organization and operation that they will face on a daily basis, which will provide them with a competitive advantage over the competition, integration into the market and maintenance of an environment harmonious, either with its customers, its employees or even with the state entities with which it will need to relate. Thus, the objective of this course is to provide a wide and comprehensive range of all the necessary economic and commercial legal tools that a good manager or entrepreneur will need to know.
